Jo, don't ever feel that you can't, or shouldn't share good news when you get some. That's what this forum is all about and knowing that you have heard something good for a change, gives me the courage and some hope for a possible good outcome on my end. Whether or not that happens, can't and shouldn't dampen your relief and positive feelings. I'm always glad to hear when someone gets some good results, as I'm sure you are too. Savour the good times Jo, goodness knows you deserve them. I'm happy for you and wish I could be there with you to celebrate over a glass of sparkly, just a little one.

Hugs.

Thanks Jo, Max, and Jules, I just logged on for a minute and here you are, wishing me well for tomorrow. I'm off to bed early and hoping to get some shut eye, but I'm the world's worst sleeper, especially when I'm facing surgery in the morning. Oh well, a few deep breaths to reduce the anxiety and a hot (well warm) bath, (I can't do hot because I have very sensitive skin). A shower in the morning and I'm off. Hopefully, I will be taken on time. I don't know how things work at your hospitals, but here, we go in the same day of surgery. We're given a "time" to be there, but quite often, we don't get to the OR anywhere near that "time". I waited for 12 hours one time - this is after fasting from midnight the night before, so a total of 22 hrs. without food or water and sitting in the waiting room over there. It was 7 p.m. at night and no one was around to ask anything, so I went and got dressed and was leaving, when a nurse came by and asked where I was going. I told her home, and she said "Oh just wait, we're going to take you soon." I said, how soon? Her response "in just a few more hours". I said "see you later". I filed a formal complaint. I've had several surgeries since then and never had to wait that long again. I guess complaining worked. That's my rant for today. Hopefully, everything goes smoothly tomorrow.

Thanks for your best wishes and hugs. They sure mean a lot and I will post as soon as I can, likely in about a week.

Take care, all of you and I send hugs to you as well.
